Editor Or mycburg Times : I am glad that the Editor has made some comments on mine of last week. Others may have misunder stood, as he did. I am much pleased that he has given me space for setting a few matters in a different light, but I think, or expect to be able to show that Dr.- Newell is not so far wrong as might be supposed. The forbear ance of the reader is asked, for the continued discussion, because of the vital importance of the question. 1 take it that Dr. N. had reference, as I had, to country schools whore only a limited and much interrupted time is at the command of parents and pupil. '1 he Editor has shown where the diilicu 1 ty lies, in quoting from Dr. Calkins of N. Y. "Children from five toten should be taught facts and train the percep tion." This lib doubt includes the . letters, spelling, reading, ike. Five years schooling?"from ten to fifteen train the memory b}' Geopraphy, Declamation, &e. From fifteen to twenty, Mathematics, Logic, Are." This gives fifteen years schooling. Why you may teach everything reasonable in that time. We will drop five years, (and then many here haven't as main months oil'anil on.) These gentlemen sticklers for thor ough training evidently never lived in a Southern pine wood. They seem to take it for granted that everybody has ten or fifteen years continued tuition without off* and was. Let us liken these ofls and ons, say to candle ends, as everybody knows what they are. TtiiS whole, spelling, definitions/ and 'grammar can be ? learned faster, and much more pleas antly by ^extensive reading, even of the paper of the day. Of correct speaking nnd writing, it is certain that if a child hear noth ing but pure Latin, he will not speak ?cannot speak or write anything else. The same of French, the same of English. But, if his parents and associates speak jargon he is bound to follow. efficiency with the labors of the ex amining oommittce. He misunder stands. Trie word effccichcy has reference to the effects of the teach er's labors in the school room. This should be looked to by the trustees, but isn't. The examining committee is our surety as to tu>mpetnu;y-?sq far rio complaint.-, have been heard. I aril indebted to this committee for per sonal favors, which 1 alii glad to ac knowledge here. I am interested in the well-doing of our schools, and the Editor is also, no doubt, interested as Commissioner. For that reason my paper was sent to him. It is to be hoped that our school fund will produce better results than the $ 15,1)00 voted for the Tea experi ment at ?Sumincrviltc. We learn from Wni. Sanders that three hundred dollars is the expense attending the outlay of sixty dollars in value of labor. We were about passing our cups down for Summerville tea, but will wait uutil the mansion is renovated, the dry lake bridged with iron, and other works so necessary to the cultivation of tea be concluded. They don't consider that the time of children sent to a room where half are in and half out alternately is irrecoverably lost. I really believe if there were no funds, there would be more and bet tor schools in some places. Now, as to Grammar, 1 would not be understood as objecting to it al together; but syntax and prosody require a very matured capacity; yet it is some times, to satisfy some fond parents, attempted too soon. It is like piittifig a tough mouthful, into the mouth of au infant without teeth. 'The writer does not profess to be ah expert grammarian; and, alt hough he thumbed the books as usual in boyhood, in the limited way he is speaking of, he was as ignorant of the more abtruse parts as he was of Greek. He does not object to the primary study, if we have the candle ends to spare. No doubt it develops tin1 memory, arid like almost any other study, has much to do with the maturing of the mind. Dictionary', well we used to spell dictionary, bei n hing at A, and by the time we were at, B, the end would give Out and the next, teacher would start us at A again. But. in the mean time the "American," the par ent of the blue back, saved us from a dietionaryMcath. It is quite easy, so far as spelling goes. First the primary word, then one or other of the. various terminations. But I think it requires the whole candle to learn definitions clear through. For each let us allow a months tui tion. With; o.no little bit of candle, we conquer A, B, C?it ia certain wc have to begin" at the beginning, no matter -what stupendous terms may be used in theories. With scvernl others wc may be'allowed'to spell and read, and with t|ie few ends we have left, we certainly waut tb study as hiuch arithmetic as possible, writ ting and Geography; and now ! think our light is gone. In fact more has beeu allowed fliguratively, oh this paper thdn many .Southern boys have. What will the gentlemen do now who"juirip'tip and vociferate for the supcrstructure":tb rough the 'windows of which ihc student may vinw the promised land of erudition. There are good schools that are nursed by* patrons, and there are good teachers, that are encouraged, ami kept from year to year." These of course could no'; have been alluded to in mine of last week. Now comes, the incucus?flic old man of the sea, that weighs down the school f?nd sufineness. A be?on ?our-l.neks-and?let the School-run ?itself?dream. "If they depend upon the fluid alone; it is too small to do the whole work," '(Kd.) They, doitiu most instances. Th-.-}* Ifean upon the public school until it is a broken stick. They send fifty,'sixty,' or seventy children to some poor, tor tured, distracted, smothered school marm, when a few dollars contributed by the parents, would hire an assis* tit lit and make the school a success. M. L. Halpwinv ? A I'rophctie gpeoch. A year ago I sat on the Gloriette at the palace of Scbonbfann, near Vienna, engaged in a conversntion Which recurs to nie frequeiitly in these days of our peril. .My Com panion was aged 90, clear-headed and still young iu his feelings. lie was as keenly ajive. to all going on in the wide, wide woi'Id as he had beeu long ago in the days jylicn he had beeu an active arid somewhat prominent figurein politics and society. He had entertained every eminent American, including General Grant,, who had visited Vienna, and few men at home or study more carefully our institu tions then did he, and does he to this moment. We were talking of Amer ica. It is possible that I was talk ing a little boastfully: at least, it was with much pride. The soldiers guarding the palace entrances and the body of the Emperor had sug gested to me in contrast, sind happy contrast, t?>o. our nun home simpli city, and 1 told of how safely our President went about without guard, sometimes walking down Pennsyl vania avenue quite unattended. 1 believe that I gloried ill the fact that ho iiended no military guard. The old gentleman 1 urued a serious face toward me, and with a prophetic note in bis voice, he said, ".Meine Dame, your country Iihs need to fear from this feature of which yon boast; You seem to know not what you are harboring. You inviteevei'ybo ly to come to your country; you lake our piurdcrers and robbers and forgers, when they can escape us, and you make them as yourself. 1 know the Nihilists, Communists and distur bers of pence w ho go to you. ami wdio must work among you like a li tie lenycii in the bread; I know the eriir g.ant, always ignorant, and some times vicious, who goes, pelhaps, from my own estates, and upon whom you thrust tin' ballot and political power. If over a sovereign heeded personal protection it is yours. Only a good Cud has kept you safely. It is beautiful in theory, but your Prest dent and your country through him, a eat t be mercy of any lunatic; any ?ndividunl crazed by your peculiar ?system. It will surprise me not at .ill to hear any day of the assassina tion of the President .of the United Stilles; und you are blind that, yon do not see this and protest against it." I laughed t hen, full of disbelief, but it was all too true.?Corr**jt?ni?cucc fioMun ^tuhsci'flili Proof Positive^?Wile (who has been "sit t ing up"): ''Well, this is a pretty time to come home! rout o'clock!"

Tlie State Normal Institute. I ?' Lk---\ ?-? GltEfeKVlLGS, Aug. 1.1th, lSSl, IZihlur (-ranjcburij 7'i?its .* The second State Normal Insti tute was organized Aug. 2nd., and )iaa consequently been in 'session almost two weeks. Notwithstanding many disadvantages as to the inade quate accommodations, dee., it has far surpassed in numbers and in the Amount of work accomplished in the same length of time, the Institute of last year. The faculty is composed of the faculty of the last Institute, reinforc ed by several valuable additions. Prof. Soldan^ tbo priiu'dpnl-j so popu lar, and so much beloved by Iiis pupils last year, and, if possible, more so tins year, is indefatigable in his efforts to make id Institute a success, and a means of improvement to those ir, attendance am!, no teach er can listen to o.ie of his lectures on the science of education, without bo coining deeply impressed with the dignity, ami importance of his pro fession. The course of instruction is the same us last year, with the addition of instruction in optional studies, ?including (>crman, French, Physical, Geography, Algebra, Penmanship Music and Caiisthonics. The len<rt.'< of the,sessions is also increased to live hours, and to six days, a week ill t>tead of live as last year. A very noticeable fact this year, is the intercut displayed in the Insti tute, by tbe.emincut educators of the Stale. There have been present in the I list it nte at diH'crent times, Dr. Curry of Va,, Prof Miles of Co., Pres. Carlisle, and Prof's? Smith andGnine Well of Wotlbrii College] I>r. Lander, Geh. Eaton, Profs. Dibble and .Townes, besides many others promi nent in education in the Slate. The citizens of Greenville also display much interest, as is evinced by the preseuce of large numbers daily. . 1'uIdic lectures have been deliver ed before the Institute, by Gen. Kalon, Dr. Curry, Prof. Miles ami Pros, Carlisle, each of whom was fully masler of his subject, and band led it in such a httinuer as to elicit telllgcnt HU'ilVclfl-'eS" ''' ?" In answer to a call to the teachers to form a Statu Teacher's Assoein tion, about one hundred ait.I tvVenty fiye teachers assembled in the Opera House on the afternoon of the Uth inst. An Association was organized with Dr. Carlisle as Pics., and other prominent men as officers, and a large number of members were en rolled. Addresses were delivered by Profs. Archer and Davis. Several othci meetings of the association were held which were addressed by Col. Thompson,Pros, Townes, Prof. Dib ble and Dr. Carlisle. The Associa tion was started under very favorable circumstances, but it is hoped that by the aid of the teachers it ma3" be made a useful, live, organization. The Southern Educational Monthly was chosen as the ollicial organ of 1 he Association. Hut where are the teachers? How many can slay at home ami feel that they do not require instruction in dis cipline and the science of education and the common school branches, and Indrc especially the educating influence of social inter course with other teachers, on which so much stress is laid by our belov ed principal? If the teachers but realized of what advantages they were depriv ing themselves, if they were fully aroused to the importance ami mag nitude of the work, instead 'of the two or three hundred now in attend: 'anee, there would soon be live hund red, earnest in the pursuit of the instruction to fit them for" future work. It is not yet too late. Let teachers i nine from all parts of the State, and there will not be one who will not return to his work with great er enthusiasm and earliestness, aud with a thankful heart for the Insti tute of 1881.
